Just to update this - FRF delivered very promptly.
Brace fitted - a simple job. The drive is markedly better. Once the car turns in and settles, it stays settled - it doesn't change pitch as much for no reason mid-corner and is far more predictable. Money well spent - this now handles as I would expect (i.e. predictable, but not brilliant ) |

Have you considered a rear tow bar just to finish it off as that will act a brace for the rear?

I have considered it, but it will have to wait until funds allow - TBH the handling is now "acceptable" as it is, although I have no doubt that he tow bar will help considerably.

Yes mate, it the language thing. I’m from Chicago, but have lived in the U.K. for 21+ years. The Towbar here is called a Hitch back home. I’m sure Valley “Think it was them we used to tow our boat around” make 1. Try and get 1 with the removable ball bit, so you don’t bang your shins going round the back lol Brian |
